Harfbuzz errror with appimage

[test666v2]

Debian 10:

chmod +x whiteboard-app-0.0.48-x86_64.AppImage to make this executable.

Executing from a filemanager, it simply won't run. In the terminal, checking with "ps aux | grep whiteboard" comes empty.

Executing ./whiteboard-app-0.0.48-x86_64.AppImage in the terminal, it won'r run and prints this error:

"(whiteboard-app:1071181): Pango-ERROR **: 17:49:01.725: Harfbuzz version too old (1.4.2)

Trace/breakpoint trap"

👍 , its the same for me.
In addition, this error happens with the .deb release as well.

Thanks for pointing this out, and thanks for trying this somewhat messy application! I wasn't aware anyone was using this, but I do intend to try to spend some time soon to get all the different builds working again.

It's using old dependencies, so I think the first step to solve this would be just upgrade electron and electron-builder, then re-run the test suite, then rebuild.

Thanks, we're waiting for the new release

Has the project being abandoned? It's almost september 2021 and the problem still exist. It's a shame, it seemed to be a good one.
